Cleansing Gel, £53, Susanne KaufmannDon't be fooled by the wee-yellow colour, this gel cleanser smells absolutely dreamy. Not to mention, it's extremely gentle on the skin, but somehow manages to remove mascara with ease. A gem for dry skin.

Electrogel Cleanser, £25, LixirPleasing to the eye (we do love a 'Grammable brand), this cleanser isn't just a pretty face: some boffin scientists have popped negatively charged 'electrogel' in this, which will attract and pull the bad stuff (that is, generally, positively charged) out of your skin, ready to be rinsed away. People have gone crazy for it, and we can see why.

Purifying Cleansing Mousse, £50, BamfordThis well-balanced cleanser uses lilac flower for its anti-inflammatory properties, and aloe to sooth. Use it first thing in the shower because the zingy scent is properly energy boosting.

Cleanse & Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser, £16, Liz EarleIf you think you're into skin care and you haven't tried this, then you're a fraud. The buttery, delicious smelling cream melts away makeup, then the cloth gently exfoliates as you remove the cleanser. Some cleansers come and go, but this will always have a place on our bathroom shelf.

Milky Jelly Cleanser, £15, GlossierYou'd be forgiven to think Glossier skincare might not be up to scratch. But you'd be wrong. This cleanser leaves no trace of makeup (eye and lip included) and soft skin in its wake. Can they do no wrong?!

Gentle Skin Cleanser, £8.99, CetaphilSimple, affordable, and a celeb favourite (we're looking at you, Charlize Theron), there's nothing to dislike about this classic cleansing hero. Find a face wash as good for under a tenner, we dare you.

Hydra Life Lotion to Foam Fresh Cleanser, £27, DiorFoam cleansers work wonders to take off heavy makeup and leave you squeaky clean, but can be a little drying. Not this one though, which - thanks to the initial lotion-y texture - injects moisture into the skin.

C.E.O. C+E Micro-dissolve Cleansing Oil, £35, Sunday RileyIf you're looking for a light formula for your morning cleanse, this is perfect. With coconut extracts and nutrient-rich algae, skin is left feeling super soft but never stripped.

Ultra Facial Cleanser, £16.50, Kiehl's Since 1851An oldie but a goodie. And an absolute bloody steal. With a gorgeously rich and moisturising formula, the gel formula is great for dry skin.

Cleanser, £40, Eve LomIf you've never tried a balm cleanser, start with this one. It melts away make up (including that stubborn waterproof mascara) and leaves skin happy as larry. Also smells delicious, which is very important.

Frances Prescott Tri-Balm, £36

Tri-Balm, £46, Frances PrescottCleanses, exfoliates and moisturises in one sweep. Like, literally a sweep, as the formula is set in a nifty solid stick (like a deodorant) that you roll around your face. Innovative and effective.

Clay-Mud Cleansing Powder, £89, OrvedaCombining the intelligence of science with the power of nature, Orveda's products are some of the most effective yet gentle on the market. This one's quite fun too: you rub the powder into a paste by adding water, then smoosh it onto your face with the accompanying Konjac sponge. You'll be bright and squeaky clean after. Worth the investment.

Superstart Probiotic Cleanser -Whip to Clay, £22, Elizabeth ArdenThis is clay based to draw out impurities, but also contains probiotics (the buzzword in skincare, don't you know) to feed goodness into the skin. The result is uber clean skin, but without the tightness some clay cleansers leave. Use it in the morning for an all-day-long glow.
